5.0 out of 5 stars Wedding Music for the Intermediate Pianist, August 2, 2011

This review is from: The Complete Wedding Music Collection (Paperback)

A great introduction to wedding music for the intermediate musician. The first half of the book contains 10 classical selections for the wedding service and 12 traditional songs for the reception arranged for intermediate piano by Pamela and Robert Schultz. The second half of the book includes piano/vocal sheet music with quitar chords for over 50 standard love songs from the 1920s through 90s. My mom got this book for me to play in friends' and relatives' weddings when I was in high school, and I still play some of the arrangements even now.
